GAELCO - TUNING RACE
33
•
In the Arcade-Race mode, the player gets points for his driving skills, as overtakes, skid
control, top speed on bends, combos, race record and lap record. These points are
accumulated game after game, then exchanged for car accesories in the “Tuning Shop”
(vinyls, rims, bumpers, spoilers, exhausts, tinted windows and luckycharms).
•
In the Tournament-Time Attack mode, there is recognition lap that allows the player to
set up the motor before the race. He can stop at any time and adjust the technical
features of the car, as gear ratios, tires, aerodynamics, engine balance, brake balance
and suspension. The race is done with the reference of a “ghost car” that reproduces
the fastest lap in the choosen circuit. A new record will be stablished if the player
crosses the finish line before the ghost car, which does not interfere in the race, simply
fades or gets solid depending on the closeness to the player’s car.
•
A keyboard has been installed in the cabinet, allowing the player to insert his pin
number. Every time he inserts the pin in the machine he originally played with, or the
one that is linked to (the CPUs can pass information to each other), he will start the
game wherever he left off. The machine will also provide him with his position in the
ranking.
•
TUNING RACE can be connected to Internet. If that were the case, all the above
information would be stored in Gaelco's server and be provided to the player in any
Tuning Race machine connected to Internet.
Starting the game
To start to play it is necessary to put enough coins to cover the price of at least one credit.
The number of coins introduced is shown together with the number of coins necessary to
obtain one credit. For example, if the programmed number of coins per credit is two, the
displayed message will be, step by step: "Credits 0 / 2", "Credits 1 / 2" and "Credits 1".
The cost of a credit is programmed from Test Mode (see section 6.4, SETTINGS).
When the necessary coins have been put in, the message "INSERT COIN" changes to
"PUSH START BUTTON". By pushing this button the player can choose the game options.
